    What do you all do to fight the ticks during spring

    You can made your own version, too. Use the top of an old sock turned inside out, for example. Something doused in permetherin that they have to crawl through will work.

    Do yall like merino products?

    Honestly if you want to avoid synthetic fibers, I have found cashmere is an excellent mid layer. Good warmth to weight. Much better than merino.

    There's also the cheaper Hunter wind defender series. I am most interested in the windproof bottoms with full leg zip at a nice price!

    Impressed with Kings Camo

    Hi, wondering if users think the XKG Wind-Defender Bib is whitetail silent. Looking at them. Really wanting quiet and windproof, and I like the full side zip to make it possible to walk in with them on in stead of needing to pack them. Thanks!

    I got a pair of the Big Bill Merino cargos a couple years ago on a great deal. There was lots of sizing questions but I ended up needing my normal size after it all. I think Tractor Supply was the source. Warm, quiet, not windproof. I have old some Woolrich heavy classic looking ones via eBay...

    I wore the Tacker ESCs on a hunt yesterday that started in the high 20s. I used a pair of fleece creepers with hand warmers in them and it made it tolerable on stand. Would not have been possible without these.
